MRI adalah bagian dari ilmu kedokteran untuk mediagnosa kelainan organ dengan memanfaatkan medan magnet dan pergerakan proton atom hidrogen. Salah satu pemeriksaan MRI adalah pemeriksaan brain. Pemeriksaan MRI brain dapat dilakukan T1 weighted image Spin Echo (T1 SE) atau T1 Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (T1 FLAIR). Kajian dilakukan untuk menentukan perbedaan T1 SE dan T1 FLAIR dari segi citra berdasarkan nilai Rasio Signal terhadap Noise (SNR) dengan MRI GE Type Signa HD xt 1.5 Tesla. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif.  20 pasien  telah diambil pada pemeriksaan MRI brain pada potongan axial, dengan parameter T1 SE potongan axial dengan parameter Time Repetition (TR) 700 ms, Time Echo (TE) 20 ms, Field of View (FOV) 240 mm, Slice Thickness 5,0 mm, Spacing 1,0 mm, Number of Excitations (NEX) 1, Phase 224, dan total slice 20. T1 FLAIR  parameter TR 3000 ms, TE 13,9 ms, TI 920 ms, FOV 240 mm, slice thickness 5,0 mm, spacing 1,0 mm,   NEX 1, phase 224, dan total slice 20. SNR dihitung pada anatomi brain meliputi CSF (Cerebro Spinal Fluid), White Matter dan Gray Matter. Hasil penelitian kedua sequence tersebut menunjukkan bahwa sequence T1 SE lebih baik daripada sequence T1 FLAIR.

29-year-old woman who noted an abdominal wall mass during the third trimester of her pregnancy Axial diffusion-weighted image (b=600 s/mm2) (Figure 14.9.1) and sagittal T1-weighted FSE image (Figure 14.9.2) demonstrate a fairly well-defined mass within the rectus muscle with high signal intensity on the diffusion-weighted image and mild hypointensity relative to skeletal muscle on the T1-weighted image. Axial arterial (...

57-year-old man with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted (Figure 1.24.1) and diffusion-weighted (b=100 s/mm2) (Figure 1.24.2) images demonstrate a peripheral right hepatic lobe mass that has mildly increased signal intensity relative to adjacent liver. Notice the higher signal intensity and greater contrast on the diffusion-weighted image (b=100 s/mm...

In children with rhombencephalitis, neuroimaging abnormalities have been infrequently correlated with clinical outcome. We investigated whether magnetic resonance (MR) neuroimaging studies could predict clinical outcomes and disturbance of consciousness in patients with rhombencephalitis. We retrospectively analyzed the MR studies of 19 pediatric patients with rhombencephalitis (median age: 4.2 years, range 0.5-17; sex: 32% male). Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging findings were graded to create imaging scores according to the extent of imaging abnormality. Clinical outcomes in the first week and 12th month were graded by using Glasgow Outcome Scale scores (1-5) and dichotomized to unfavorable or favorable outcome. Correlations of the imaging scores with the clinical outcomes and with disturbance of consciousness were assessed by using multivariate logistic regression analysis. No significant correlation was found between fluid-attenuated inversion recovery score or diffusion-weighted imaging score ( P = .608, P = .132, respectively) and disturbance of consciousness. In the first week, the unfavorable outcome group (n = 11) had significantly higher diffusion-weighted imaging score than did the favorable outcome group (n = 8) (Mann-Whitney U test, P = .005). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the diffusion-weighted imaging score (odds ratio, 18.182; 95% confidence interval: 1.36, 243.01; P = .028) was significantly associated with unfavorable outcome. In the 12th month, the fluid-attenuated inversion recovery score or diffusion-weighted imaging score ( P = .994, P = .997, respectively) were not significantly associated with unfavorable outcome. Patients with rhombencephalitis who have a higher diffusion-weighted imaging score are more likely to have an unfavorable 1-week clinical outcome.
